cockatiel birds

If you are a breeder or know of one - what is the birds life like? Do they eat good? Do they enjoy clean cages? Where do they get these breeder parrots/bird from?

hand raised ones by honorable breeders are taken care of well.
Most exotic birds sold in pet stores are wild caught. I dont remember that exact ratio, but an apalling number of birds are taken from the wild for each one that makes it to the pet store because so many are killed along the way, due to harsh methods of capture/transport, birds that get sick changing enviornments, bird that wont eat, have parasites, the list goes on. I am far from a bunny-hugger, but the exotic bird market like the exotic reptile market is pretty ugly.

When I see these creatures, it reminds me that there has got to be a Creator. Where do you non-believers think something so amazing as a Peacock or any creatures on this earth, including us wonderful but sometimes awful humans…come from ? How can you think it's "Big Bang" theory or whatever ? I'm not real religious but believe in God. I see his creativity and imagination in the little things. What about all the food he's provided…it's amazing to me. Look at bananas, watermelon, lemons, etc…etc…the scents of them all…the tastes. Amazing to me !! What do y'all think ?

Great question…I do sometimes wonder when I'm alone, and randomly too. It amazes me of how trees and this diversity came into nature–the flowers, trees, birds, etc. It is very cool, it feels great to think about these things. I just absolutely hate it when scientists try to take thing of such beauty and religion too and make it a world of science! I mean, they now created the stupid theory that the upper atmosphere of the earth is heaven and the lower core within the earth is hell. I mean come on! Leave things how they are…I do believe there is God but some people can't seem to leave nature and the earth the way it was born.

People just don't understand, half the world is dead because of what we do and things like this will continue. Anyway great question…loved to take the time to answer it.

(By the way, animals today and in the past amaze me, the things they do and how they can adapt. It's awesome, a dinosaur, giraffe, zebra, parakeet, etc.)

make the loudest noise? and which are thsome of the quietest types (I know they are all reliativly noisy )
Im thinking the ones like Macaws, cockatoos, and conures are louder…and budgies …not sure which else are quieter in comparison? someone who has experience with different kinds please let me know.
I love the sound of Parrots , but my husband not so much, Thanks:)
knicks54 who said conures were quiet? reread:)

Parrotlets are one of the quieter birds. I recently got a parrotlet, and a big part of the appeal is that they're pretty much incapable of screeching as loud as many other birds. My last roommate had a budgie, and he'd screech so loud, the noise would go out her window and come in mine, and come through the walls.

I will say that my parrotlet can get a bit chattery, especially when he want attention, and will get a little loud every now and then, but most of the time it's just quiet chatter and chirps–never shrieking or screaming. I live in apartments, so a noisy bird would be a problem, but he's quieter than most of the birds I hear outside.

I did a ton of research on birds before choosing one, and I definitely recommend a parrotlet. They're playful, social, intelligent, small, cute as heck, quiet, and relatively easy to care for–and they can learn to speak. The one important thing to consider though is that they need LOTS of attention and interaction. They consider themselves a part of the family and demand to be treated as such.

The little birds are already 3-4 week old, but still in nest.
I'm talking about small parrots, not the big talking ones.

If your babies are being eaten, you should take them out and handraise them. I dont know what goes around in your females brain, but a accurate guess is that she thinks that the babies are food or don't belong. OR The female might be sick. Tell your vet if you think its a big problem.

i dont want anything small ( no parakeets,finches,cockatiels etc..) i want a larger bird that will be able to learn to speak

No parrot is guranteed to speak. There are African Gryes who don't talk. Besides that, it's not fair to the bird if you just get a parrot because you want them to talk. You should get a parrot if you are ready to deal with the noise, mess, bites, commitment, and cost then a parrot may be for you. Many people think they are able to care for a parrot, and then the parrot ends up plucked, and screeching in a rescue. Do your research before you make a final decision.

Cockatiels, although on the smaller side, are a great bird for a beginner or even someone who has owned birds for a year. They're a lower maintence, and not very loud as far as birds go. They always seem in a good mood and some can learn to say a few words, or mimicks sounds. You can't really go wrong with a hand fed tiel.

I'd suggest maybe a quaker (illegal in some states), senegal, meyers, green cheek, or a love bird. Look into different challenges to each species, and noise voume. If you do your research you can find the bird perfect for your home.

I Have 2 Quaker Birds And I Think They Are A Boy And Girl And I Was Wondering How Long Does Take A Quaker Parrot To Have Little Baby Birds? I Had Them Since I Think The First Week Of June Or July Since Last Year 2007

Place a box in with them a big box. If they lay eggs it will be around 10 days after mating. They will hatch if fertile around 21 days depending on how warm or cool it is in the room they are kept. But I can tell you from experience quaker babies won't be heard crying for food until around 3 weeks old. I suggest setting them up to breed then only fooling with them to change their food and water and to clean their cage up, never looking into the box. The longer you leave them alone the more babies and faster they will have.All in all around 3 months after the mating takes place to leave them alone. Once you hear the babies crying for food from their parents it will be safe to take the babies for hand feeding.

Quakers are known to break the eggs or kill babies if bothered too much during breeding. So be careful to remember to leave them alone. And good luck!
